Wash the rice well in several wa- " ters, pare and slice the apples; cover with water. When boiled sweeten to taste. Eat with cream. To make it look nice whip the white of two eggs, sweeten, cover the dish, brown in the oven for a min- ute, take out and put drops of cur- rant jelly on top. Italian Roast.--Take a nice piece of veal, cut around the bone "and put in a small piece of garlic, salt and a few allspice. Make incisions 'in several places, putting in the seasoning, tie a leaf of celery on top of the roast, with a smal pepper. Pour over a little olive oil and cook until tender, according to the size of the roast. Italian Veal Soup.--Wash bones taken from a shoulder of veal; add one quart water and one-third tea- spoon salt. Simmer over a slow fire for one hour, bring to a boil, and add one-fourth pound broken spaghetti. Keep boiling, stirring occasionally until spaghetti is done. Put three teaspoons patented bar- ley to soak in one-half cup cold wa- ter; when smooth add to soup, stir- ring all the time. Cook this 10 min- utes more, stirring conztantly ; beat three eggs and put into soup. Do not stir for half a minute so as to let eggs float in large pieces on top. ~ Russian Patties.--One pint of oy- sters, three tablespoonfuls of but- ter, four and one-half tablespoon-, fuls of flour, one-half cup of chick: en stock; one-half cup of cream, one-half tablespoonful of vinegar, three-fourths tablespoonful of lem- on juice, yolks of two eggs, one ta blespoonful of grated horseradish, two tablespoonfuls of capers, salt and pepper. Parboil the oysters, drain, and reserve the liquor ; there should be one-half cup. Make sauce of butter, flour, stock, oyster liquor and cream; add the yolks of eggs, seasoning, and salt and pep- per to taste. Add the oysters, and as soon as oysters are heated, fill patty shells. ' For Scotch broth take three pounds of neck of mutton, four pints of cold water, half a cup of barley, four slices of carrot, two slices of turnip, and one onion. Cut the hones from the meat and sim- mer in a pint of water. Cut the meat in small-pieces; taking out the gris- tle and sinew and place in a kettle with cold water. Cook gently for two hours. Then add the strained liquor from the bones, the onion sliced, the turnips and carrot cut in dice, with barley and salt to taste. Cook until the vegetables are tender." Add a little celery. salt and pepper, and stir in one tea- spoon of flour mixed with a little butter and some chopped parsley. Serve as soon as it boils. Patty Shells.--Roll puff paste one-quarter inch thick, shape with a patty cutter, first dipped in flour; remove centres from one-half the rounds with a small cutter. Brush over with oold water, the largest pieees near the edge, and fit on wings, pressing lightly. Place in a towel between pans of crushed ice, and chill until paste is stiff ; if cold weather cool out of doors. Place on iron or fin sheet covered with brown paper and bake 25 minutes in hot oven. The shells should rise their full height and begin to brown in 12 to 15 minutes ; continue brown- wd finish baking i in 25 minutes. out from centre of rings of patties may be baked and used-for] patty covers, or put together, roll- 'and out for unders.

For tired feet make a mixture of alcohol and lemon juice and rub on the feet and ankles. After scrubbing thoroughly, make a few slits in the skins of po- tatoes that are to be baked. Knives are cleaned more easily and thoroughly with soda added to the scouring brick. - The newest omelet pan is in two parts, so that the omelet may be flapped over and over.

This will make them beautifully white. A little borax, dissolved in warm red water, will help to keep the child- ren's teeth clean and sound. Any glass that is to be subjected to heat--lamp chimneys, for in- stance, or tumblers which are to hold hot water--should be boiled before they are used in order to prevent them from cracking. When lace is too much yellowed with age wet it and lay it in the sun to bleach. As a rule laces are not ironed, but if this finish seems ne- cessary lay old muslin over the lace and iron with a moderately warm iron. . A smoky lamp is often the result of a clogged and dirty wick. Take the burner out of the lamp and soak it in a little strong washing soda and hot water, then dry thor- oughly, and the lamp will burn much better. A very good way to prevent a cracked wash-hand basin from breaking is to paint along the crack with white paint. Then place alon it a piece of wide tape, the ra of the crack, Paint well over this, and when dry it will be as firm as cement and last for years. Carpets should be rubbed with a damp cloth rather than brushed, and if 'it is at all necessary to brush them this-should be done by means of a covered sweeper with plenty of damp tea-leaves. Of all ways of re- moving dirt from a carpet, the worst is by the use of the ordinary short brush, which involves kneel- ing down in the dust. Oil and grease spots can be re- moved from the most delicately tint- ed wallpaper without seriously marring it. Some French chalk, powdered in cold water, should be applied to the spots and permitted to remain for at least twelve hours. The chalk can then be brushed off. 1f the grease spots are still visible put on more chalk, place a piece of brown paper on this, and press for a few moments with a warm flat- iron. eli THE SOUND OF LIGHT, - Perfeetly Clear and Distinot Under Certain Conditions. 1t is no unusual thing to see a ray of light; but have you ever heard one! Recent experiments, described in Harper's Weekly, prove that a beam of light can, under certain conditions, produce perfectly clear and distinct sounds. A ray of sunlight is thrown through a lens on a glass vessel that contains lampblack, colored silk or worsted. A disk with slits or open- ings cut, in it is made to revolve swiftly in this beam of light, so as to '"'cut it up," and cause alternate flashes of light and shadow. When you place your ear to the sel, you hear strange sounds as long Las the i ; beam. falls upon the vessel. A still more ertraordinaiy effect | is produced when the beam of sun- light is made to pass through a The disk is turned ra- far bls i be vessel lass ves- | Alderman of the feathered folk, be- | prism, 80 as to produce the i i Spestum. > A NOVELTY IN HILL-COASTING IN SWITZERLAND. ee THE BIRDS OF ONTARIO THEY ARE FARMERS' FRIENDS AND NOT ENEMIES, Ontario Government Has Publish- cd Interesting Study of Birds Known Here. Gradually people are learnin that nature is more enlightene than man. Bulletin 218 of the On- tario Department of Agriculture is a delightful book on birds by Mr. Charles W. Nash. It deals with the subject mainly from the econo- mic standpoint. Tradition places birds among the enemies of farm- ers. Quite meek, timid binds : are supposed to'eat fruit and seed. Birds are trapped and 'shot and driven away, and meanwhile the field mouse eats his full and says philosophically 'what fools these mortals be." The truth is that birds feed main- ly on mice and rats and insects. That is to sayy respectable birds do; and Mr. Nash gives a list of desirable and undesirable acquaint- ances on the wing, with excellent pictures of both. There have been found in Ontario 325 different spe- cies out of the 13,000 known to sci- ence. Some of the most common of them have appeared since the land was cultivated and cleared of for- est growth. Their habits are mi- gratory. From far Brazil or from the southern Etates they come to (Canada, willing to hold field mice and rats and other pests in check for the farmer. As settlers open up new districts, the birds extend their journeys. . Pitiable Attempts. Man's attempts to fight pests hy means of traps, cats, poison and, disinfecting sprays are pitiable, | compared with the astounding ef- ficiency of birds. Any aviator will say that flying is hungry work. 'A careful study of birds bears out this contentfon. Quite a small bird will eat several mice for a single meal. He digests them very quick- ly, and is soon looking for more. Hawks are divided into two classes, saints and sinners. The sinners help themselves to poultry and should be killed. Their names are the Sharp-skinned hawk, Coop- er's hawk, Goshawk (a particnlar- ly evil bird), Duck Hawk, and Pig- eon Hawk. But there are many good fairies among the hawk tribe, full particulars of which are given in Mr. Nash's delightful, pamphlet. YA Great Feeder. = The Sparrow Hawk is a particu- larly well disposed bird. He is the] ing addioted to banquets. Mice and grasshoppers he devours in la in Ontario, or pests, but fo; altruistle bird; would quantities, and he raises his UY : r Hoot. Mon! A Good Bird. Owls appear to be. particularly useful. With the exception of the great horned owl, a brute with leanings toward liberal finance, that is robbing hen roosts, most of these birds are great destroyers of mice. Many other smaller birds | ove are really very kind to farmers, and it is interesting to note that the de- spised sparrow is quite a useful bi Mr. Nash traces the migratory habits of many species. The males know how to make duty wait on personal comfort, so when moving time comes they fly ahead to save the females all the trouble of look- | ¥rite o ing for lodgmgs, and incidentally they escape all the bother that) marks a long journew with a large family. The Hen Not Mentioned. Years ago-in Ontario the hen was quite @ common bird. People used to keep chickens and their ogee were 'eaten by rich and poor. t with the spread of civilization, the hen lost her maternal igstincts. Bhe ceased to lay eggs and this bird is evidenly now extinct for no men- tion is made of it by Mr. Nash. This seems a pity for the hen was a useful bird and endowed with many loveable qualities. She was an early r. Her blithe song could be heard in the farm yards |Bdward said 1 at dawn. A simple feeder and strict moralist, she could make al- lowance for her husband's poligam- ous propensities. More conecien- tious than the middleman, all her eggs were new when laid. There is not & single ease on record of a hen laying a cold storage or pickled egg.
